100-word Challenge

Year 5 have been trying their hand at the "100-word challenge" - a piece of writing, under 100 words long, resulting from a given prompt. Our prompt was "...slowly, the sky got darker..." Here are some of the pieces of writing Year 5 came up with. Let us know what you like and what you think we could do to improve our writing!

The bats flew overhead
As I lay in my bed
Slowly, the sky grew darker.

The babies cried
As their mothers came
To see if they were in pain.
Slowly, the sky grew darker.

The foxes approached their prey
Which was hiding in the hay,
Slowly, the sky grew darker.

The police chased after a crazy criminal
Who was eating a piece of succulent simnel
Cake
Slowly, the sky grew darker.

All the shops were closed,
Full of food,
Full of clothes,
Full of stock,
Full of rats,
Full of rodents,
Full of cats.
Slowly, the sky grew darker.

Slowly the sky got darker. The frightening bats awoke; the  witches were preparing their Halloween potion.

Suddenly, the aliens landed their colossal ship. The lime green aliens strolled out. BOOM! One of the witches threw the potion; everybody was under the Halloween spirit.

At 6:00pm everybody put their Halloween costumes on and started celebrating. Zombies came out of drains; devils came out of the forest.  Fortunately, the devils and zombies were occupied in the forest, planning their scare plan.

Three hours later, the zombies and devils came out to threaten people. Everyone heard the screams, children’s screams: “AGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!”

Slowly, the sky got darker. A man died in a car crash. It was as dark as Batman’s black cape. From that day on he was known as the ghost of Gotham’s mansion. His beloved night was HALLOWEEN.  

He took people’s souls away; he did that every year from this night for eternity.

When he went to haunt them, he picked up books and threw them at walls. He was yearning for the apocalypse. SMASH!!! He threw tables and chairs out the windows and hit car windows.

He went back to his mansion and thought of another plan…
